Krafft's Notes on Anomalies

"When I looked into the garden, I saw a beautifully dressed lady. Her brilliance was greater than the branches of the summer sun, and her appearance was more beautiful than the lilies of May..."

"What are you muttering about, 'lady' and 'lily'?" Field turned around and stretched his neck curiously to peek at the contents of the booklet. He had reason to suspect that his companion was hiding something interesting from him.

The less active mules and horses once again brought the wheel hub into the pit. The two of them bounced and fell like beans in a frying pan, causing pain in their hips from the collision.

"Damn it, Field, I shouldn't have dragged you out with me!"

Dominic was lying in a mess among the scattered goods, wishing he could slap his morning self. Why did he believe this guy's lies about driving? Who knows if he just made it up for the sake of going out for fun.

The short poem that I had just remembered disappeared without a trace, and my mind was completely blank except for the rising blood flow.

He tried hard to recall the context, but he got very little, only a few words like a flock of doves. When his consciousness tried to get closer, they fluttered their wings and disappeared without a trace, leaving only one or two feathers that symbolized their existence.

"So what are you talking about?"

"It's just a poem." Dominic realized that he was about to lose this poem. The original text was copied from a certain poetry collection temporarily borrowed from Dunling Library. Now the text and memory are blurred, and there may not be another chance to retrieve it. .

Just like the feelings that just passed away, people always lose something permanently and inadvertently. This sense of irreparable loss made me feel a little depressed for a while.

"What poem?"

"I guarantee there's nothing in it that interests you, watch the road!"

The car has entered the mountain road. If the person in the driver's seat is distracted again, there is no guarantee that they will be promoted to be with their Heavenly Father tonight.

From this point of view, the road that seemed to be a little wasteful in width at first is actually quite reasonable. The light in the mountains weakens much faster than on the flat land. While the high cliffs were still reflecting the dazzling light, it was already difficult to see the road clearly on the tree-lined avenue.

With lush vegetation on both sides, the boundaries and deep valleys are blurred and confused. At first glance, it looks no different from a flat grassland, but as long as you cross it a little, cars and people will roll down, leaving no trace.

The third-rate coachman began to sweat on the back of his neck, and the knuckles of his hands holding the reins were bulging, almost choking the horse until it was out of breath.

This at least makes people feel more at ease. When Field is doing things seriously, he usually doesn't make trouble.

Dominic pressed his heart back from his throat to his chest and lay down in the bed of the car with a flat pumpkin on his head.

He tried for the last time to recover what he had just left behind, and his consciousness went back and forth between a few lines of poetry, looking for the outlet of his memory.

It is like a handicraft that has been played with many times, and I can remember the metaphor of each sentence. It depicts truth as a holy flower and a bright summer sun, and guides readers to pursue the right path of enlightenment. When I first read it, I couldn't help but be attracted by the ingenuity.

But at that moment, he seemed to suddenly understand another layer of meaning. Something "non-existent" flashed across the page. A third side of the paper appeared in addition to the front and back. The sentence reading punctuation and pronunciation rhymes were perfectly embedded in the handwriting. The text is even more harmonious and harmonious than the original text.

Brief, but profound, it is definitely not an illusion constructed by consciousness on its own.

He almost thought it was a destined revelation, but the angle it revealed was full of concepts and scenes he had never seen before.

It's like climbing along a set path to an unreachable glorious peak, and suddenly tripping over an inexplicable pothole, knocking your knees heavily to the ground.

The light above the head dimmed for a moment, and the loose stone fragments fell from the perspective, and I realized that the abyss was close at hand.

From the skyline to the feet, there is a lightless realm. The gravel falling into it stirs up abnormally high dark waves, breaking through the limits of the earth one after another. Plants climb above the field of vision like growth, intertwining with the dense clouds.

The light from the mountain peaks was turned like a roulette wheel, rushing into the deep valley.

All things in the world are silently and crazily subsumed into dark nothingness in incomprehensible forms, except for that thing that cannot even be called a "thing".

It is so huge that it is unimaginable, and it exists everywhere in the all-devouring darkness of nothingness; it is also infinitesimally small, so small that it can pass through the narrow gap between the words and follow the ray of eyes that found it into the pupil.

【It sees you】

Not that it discovered it, but that it discovered itself.

A cold shiver ran through his body. Dominic opened his eyes and waved his arms in panic, trying to escape from the darkness in front of him until he felt a hard and uncomfortable vibration coming from behind.

The body was still lying in the bed of the truck, seemingly falling asleep unconsciously.

The sky was already dark, and the weather that had fluctuated between cloudy and sunny for many days finally reached the critical point. The clouds covered the stars and the moon, and the darkness above the head was as pure as in a dream.

"Are you awake? In fact, you can rest for a while. We still have a long way to go."

Field almost drove the car to the slowest speed and moved slowly on the mountain road with the lantern hanging on the front of the car. He relied on his pride to hold on and did not put the car down and go back to find helpers.

I must have missed my dinner order. I hope the cook doesn't have any essential ingredients for the main course on the shopping list.

"When did I fall asleep?" He reached out and groped around for a while, but the notes were missing. Maybe they were thrown out in shock.

While I was annoyed that I had lost all my accounts, I was actually a little lucky in my subconscious. I felt that I was temporarily free of something unspeakable, as if the aftermath of the inexplicable nightmare just now had also left.

"It didn't take long. I guess we reached...the mountainside?"

"I swear I will never ask you to come out with me in the future. Imagine what Mr. Kraft will think of two idiots who are late for shopping."

"Sorry, my fault." The culprit admitted his mistake very straightforwardly. "I, Brother Field, a quasi-knight of the Knights Hospitaller, hereby declare a night of fasting and self-reflection. The supper belongs to my brother."

Although the apology did not sound very sincere, the supper made up for it well. Dominic was reluctant to accept the repentance on behalf of God.

With the chaos of waking up and the pain in the back of his head, he thought for a long time, and slowly remembered to ask if he had heard any strange dream talk before.

Just as he was thinking about how to start, a very violent bright white replaced the darkness, short and dazzling, outlining the twisted branches of the trees in detail, and the flickering outlines of the distant mountains stretched out a twisted giant shadow to them.

Then the darkness rolled back like a tide, and the burn marks left in the field of vision did not dissipate for a long time.

Dominic was stunned for a moment, and after realizing that the light came from the clouds, he took half a breath to jump to the driver's seat, snatched the reins from his companion who was still staring at the sky, and held them tightly.

Soon, they heard a belated shock, a long chaotic rumble like the mountains awakening in the clouds and the slow friction of rock scales, which overwhelmed the frightened neighing of the frightened horses.

The reins pulled out a hot and painful track in the palm of the hand, and were finally stabilized by the two people together. The sound waves faded away and disappeared into the horizon.

In shock, Dominic turned over his palm to check the injury and prepared to use the lining clothes for temporary treatment.

However, his hearing was once again occupied by the roar of the explosion, and the uncontrolled reins slipped out of his hand, and the carriage rushed towards the dark place without light.

There seemed to be a panicked cry from his companions in his ears, shouting and trying to twist the bridle.

Some kind of fear that was more hidden than falling pierced his mind while thinking.

[This is thunder]

What was it just now?

As we gradually enter the autumn and winter season, various infectious diseases are rampant and the department's business volume has increased sharply. I also hope that everyone will take precautions, pay attention to weather changes, and prevent infection.

In addition: Let me recommend the only book on the recent fantasy new book list that is related to the K-series (sad)
